We were saddened to learn that George McKann passed away on January 19, 2022. Gardner Carton & Douglas of Chicago, Illinois (now Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath) joined World Law Group in 1989. George and his wife Alice began participating in WLG in 1992, at the Spring Conference in Lyon, and they jumped in with both feet. George made an indelible impact on the network through his service on the Board as a director from 1997 to 1999 and as president from 1999 to 2001.
Member firm Greenberg Traurig (Florida - U.S.A.) shared new, exciting initiatives within their firm in a recent Q&A. Over the past decade, but with tremendous acceleration since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, traditionally New York-based clients, including major private equity firms, have been moving their operations to South Florida. At the same time, Miami has grown as a center for technology-focused investment, with a number of high-profile venture firms from California and New York moving to South Florida. As a result, their corporate and transaction practices have grown, as have their venture capital engagements and fund formation practices.
